maram500:I've had multiple surgeries, most of which left me unable to do jack shiat with my right leg for weeks afterward. Even turning on my side in bed was horrifying torture (although copious amounts of painkillers helped).

But nothing--and I mean NOTHING--came close to being cathed while I was conscious. More than that, they cathed me in order to shoot dye in my bladder to see why I was leaking occasionally. So I'm on a cold table with a male nurse (I'm gay, so what) staring at me with a plastic hose from hell up my weiner. They're shooting dye which makes me have to piss like a racehorse, and when they pull the hosepipe out of my hosepipe, I'm bleeding. And whenever I peed for four days after, there was blood.

Catheters are no joke, people.

i once got cathered cause i couldn't provide a urine sample within the alloted 15 seconds. so they put a catheter in me instead of giving me water. well they gave me water toohurt like hell

violentsalvation:Lsherm: Ambivalence: Lsherm: I haven't had a lot of medical procedures in my life, but one that will always stick with me is the removal of a catheter from my junk. It is quite possibly the worst thing you could experience, although I've heard kidney stones are even worse.

was it painful or just REALLY uncomfortable and/or weird feeling?

It started uncomfortable, but when the nurse told me "we can keep doing this slow or try the band-aid approach" - THEN it was wildly painful for a good 20 minutes, and I was sore for days. And the soreness is doubly irritating because it's not just your dick, it's inside, too. Like I got vagina punched with brass knuckles, except I don't have a vagina. Or brass knuckles.

Granted, them putting the damn thing in wasn't a bed of roses, either, but it was nothing compared to it coming out.

It hurts like a biatch, and for me I had to watch because I was unconscious when it went in, so I wanted to know just what the hell was up in my pee hole. And as he was pulling out this bloody tubing it felt like a weed eater was being dragged through my dick.

Next time, ask them to clamp it for half an hour before they take it out. Then deflate the balloon and pull it out yourself while peeing. It makes it a lot less painful, and you don't have to clean that bathroom anyway. The catheters also come in different gauges, but they seem to think everyone is an XXL.
